The valve seats were probably cut on a Serdi machine or similar where you shouldn`t lap the valves. Lapping them destroys the seat, they work beautifully if cut correctly and vacuum tested afterwards.

my head was aweful when i took it off and done a leak check on the valves with liquid within hour nearly all the liquid had seeped past the valves
